Preparing the Equipment for Operation

4.1.

Setting up the MedAir

The MedAir is designed for use in dry areas free from spray and dripping water. Moist or wet ambient conditions can greatly impair the functioning of the equipment. The ambient temperature may not exceed +40 °C. Should the relative humidity exceed 70 %, it is recommended that the equipment only be operated in air-conditioned areas. The air intake filter positioned at the rear of the unit may not be covered by any objects. The rear side of the unit must be at least 10 cm from the wall.

4.2.

Connection to the mains power supply

Check to determine whether the mains power voltage matches the power voltage as indicated on the rating plate on the unit. Make sure that the mains power switch "ON/OFF is in the OFF position.
